[CMake] Pparallel build on multiple directories?

[Alexandre Feblot]

I tried with the standard gmake 3.81 that I compiled on .net 2003 with
support for an old MKS sh.exe that we already own (define HAVE_MKS_SHELL
in the config.h.W32), but can't get it working in parallel. Maybe sh is
too old too.

We'd rather avoid cygwin, as it's not simple to install once and share
between multiple servers.

I might give it a try though, just to see if I can have it working
here...

Thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,
Alexandre

I use cl with gmake.

You have to use a patched gmake.   Cygwin removed support for c: in 
paths.  Next version of gmake will put the support back.

You can find a patched make here:

http://www.cmake.org/files/cygwin/make.exe

So, install cygwin, then put that make.exe in the bin dir, then use the 
"Unix Makefiles" generator of cmake, from a shell that has the correct 
environment for running cl.
